WTH is Going On at Harvard? Larry Summers Explains

Following the terrorist attacks of October 7th, Harvard
University was among several elite bastions of higher education
to show its true colors – moral relativism, raw antisemitism on
campus, and poor leadership. Harvard, like other elite
institutions, has and will continue to suffer reputational damage
for its response. And indeed, the rot of higher ed is deep. It is
not that a liberal bias has metastasized into illiberalism, but
rather that illiberalism has been layered on top of a creeping
and extreme form of leftism. What is going on in our country’s
top universities? Who is to blame? How do we solve it?


Lawrence H. Summers was Chief Economist of the World Bank
(1991-93), US Secretary of the Treasury (1999-2001), Director of
the US National Economic Council (2009-10), and President of
Harvard University (2001-06).
